Experiences
in the 22nd Dimension is an installation created by New Orleans based
artists Corinne Loperfido and Andrew Schrock. Inspired by the
exploration of the full spectrum of the human senses through costume
design, photography, projections, and ornate sculptural + fabric
installation, participants are transported into the temple of two
androgynous deities from the 22nd Dimension. They have come to share
their knowledge and practices with our society because we have become
disconnected from the way we relate our bodies and to each other. Their
intention for heightening our awareness is to help facilitate a deeper
connection between our consciousness and our physical bodies.

Corinne Loperfido is focused on inventing new worlds with surreal installations that incorporate costume design and ritual / interactive performances. Her goal is to create unique experiences for the viewer that inspires a new model for relating to each other and to what we consider "art".

Andrew Schrock is a multi faceted artist, ambitiously delving into all realms of creativity. His endeavors include chopping apart freight trains, tug boats, hacking fire hydrants, exploding sculptures, decon-re-construction, adventures into the metaphysical, and breathing all for the sake of realizing fantasy, experimental thinking, and an understanding of the multi-verse.

THE TEMPORARY MURAL PROJECT

The Temporary Mural Project is an outdoor 8'x 8' space on the East wall of Sky High that we utilize as a rotating public art space.

Selected Milwaukee artists are asked to create an 8' x 8' piece of work in their studio that is then installed on the wall for durations of approximately 3 months. These temporary murals are intended to brighten the community, promote creative growth and inspiration in our neighborhood. The mural project also gives the artist 24 street side exposure. Our long term goal is to find a outdoor location to reinstall 2 years worth of murals for the public to view at once.

Postcards of each mural are printed in small editions and available for free while supplies last in the shop. Come by and see it for yourself.
